Throne of Glass

Throne of Glasscontains all the qualities of a typical teen novel: love,
actions, fantasy, and mystery. It tells the story of Celaena Sardothien, a
notorious assassin serving time in the salt mills of Endovier. One day, she is
presented an offer by the Prince of Adarlan: her freedom. Now the only thing
standing in her way is 23 other competitors, all fighting in hopes of becoming
the King of Adarlan’s champion.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. There
was never a dull moment, and the competition scenes delivered exactly what I
envisioned. Aside from this, there were some confusing aspects (the setting and
the dreams) and it was too predictable at times (the love triangle forming and
who would be the last two contenders left). I would recommend this book to fans
of The Hunger Games or anyone who likes fantasy/love/mystery/action type
books.
